(5b) In my ninth palû, (the god) Aššur, my lord, encouraged me and I marched against the lands Bīt-Kap[si, Bīt-Sangi], Bīt-Urzakki, Media (lit. “land of the Medes”), Bīt-Zualzaš, Bīt-Matti, (and) Tupliyaš. I captured, plundered, destro[yed], devastated, (and) burned with fire the cities Bīt-Ištar, Kin[kangi, Kindigiasu], Kingialkasiš, Kubušḫatidiš, Upušu, Aḫsipuna, Girgirâ, (and) Kim[bazḫati, together with] citie[s] in their environs.

(8b) At that time, [I made a pointed iron] “arrow,” inscribed [the mig]hty deeds of (the god) Aššur, my lord, on it, (and) I set (it) up at the spring of the city Bīt-Ištar. Upaš of (the land Bīt)-Kapsi (lit. “son of Kapsi”) assembled his people and ascended [Mount Abirus]. (10) I pursued him, defeated him, (and) carried off his booty. I destroyed, devastated, (and) burned with fire his cities.

1m-ḫi-it-ti “Ušḫitti”: Cf. m-ḫi-it-te in text no. 27 line 5 and text no. 32 line 6.

2mú-ri-im--i “Urimmi”: Cf. mú-ri-im-me in text no. 32 line 7, and also mú-i-ri-mi in text no. 35 iii 14.

3[ár]-: The restoration is based on text no. 27 line 7; ar- in 3 R pl. 9 no. 3 must be a mistake. In a draft of the reconstructed tribute list for 3 R pl. 9 (reproduced in Tadmor, Tigl. III pl. XXVIII), G. Smith explicitly wrote “not ar,” and indeed the sign ar is crossed out and followed by ár-ga-man-nu (“red-purple”). mim-ma “all kinds”: Text no. 28 begins here. ni-ṣir-ti “treasure”: Text no. 28 line 1 omits -ti.

4MUNUS.ANŠE.a-na-qa-: Layard, MS A erroneously omits a-. ANŠE.ba-ak-ka-: Layard, MS A erroneously has ANŠE.ba-ka-ka-. A different, earlier version of the same campaign appears in text no. 35 ii 25´–44´.

5al-lik* “I marched”: Layard, MS A omits one of the vertical wedges of lik (the UR sign).

6URU.ki-im-: The damaged im looks like iḫ in Layard, MS A and Layard, ICC (p. 67 top). However, text no. 28 line 5 clearly has im.

7For a discussion of the cult at Bīt-Ištar and the location of that city (which is to be identified as mod. Ravānsar, located 57 km northwest of Kermanshah), see Radner, Continuity of Empire pp. 119–130; and Radner and Kroll, ZA 96 (2006) pp. 220–221.

8i-na: Text no. 28 line 6 has ina.

9áš-lu-la “I carried off”: Text no. 29, which is almost entirely lost, begins here. Burdada (Bardada) of Nirutakta: Cf. Bardada of Ṣibar (Ṣibur) in text no. 35 ii 34´.

10URU.ni-ru*-tak-ta* “the city Nirutakta”: Layard, MS A omits one vertical wedge in both the ru and ta signs.

11URU.ṣi-bu-ur “the city Ṣibar”: Text no. 35 ii 34´ has URU.ṣi-bar. mta-nu-us “Tanus”: Cf. Tunî of Sumurzu in text no. 8 line 4.
